" I visited Thai Basil with high expectations but ended feeling a bit let down. The atmosphere was nice, and the servers were friendly, but my dish lacked the authentic flavor I was hoping for. I tried the Drunken Noodles but found it to be overly sweet and not spicy enough. The portion was large, which is a plus, but flavor-wise, it didn’t meet my expectations. I may try it again, but not in a hurry. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I appreciated the ambiance of Thai Basil, my party was disappointed with the taste of the food. The Pad Thai was a letdown, lacking the authenticity that we had hoped for. However, the staff attempted to make up for it with prompt service and offered an alternative dish. I especially liked the Thai iced tea, which was delicious and refreshing. Not sure if I will be back unless I hear of improvements! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to check out Thai Basil after hearing so many positive reviews, but I must admit, my experience was underwhelming. While the ambiance was nice and staff was accommodating, the Pad Thai I ordered lacked flavor and was quite oily. I expected something more authentic based on the reviews. The portion size was good, but it didn't make up for the blandness of the dish. I might give it another shot, but I was left wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tucked away near ASU, Thai Basil is a gem! Ordered the Massaman Curry and it was so hearty and flavorful. I loved the authentic ingredients and the portion was more than enough to share or take home. Wonderful staff ensured our dining experience was smooth and enjoyable. This is definitely a hidden treasure that deserves more recognition! " (*Curated Review*)

" Thai Basil remains a favorite lunchtime spot for my colleagues and me. The curries are not only authentic but also very accommodating for spice levels. The staff is always cheerful and helpful, which makes for a pleasant dining experience. Pro tip: ordering the lunch special is a great deal given the portion size! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't commend Thai Basil enough for their commitment to authenticity! Having traveled extensively through Thailand, I can tell the food prepared here has stayed true to its roots. The Spicy Fried Rice took me right back to the streets of Bangkok! The dining experience was perfectly enjoyable, and the staff genuinely cared about our satisfaction. I recommend visiting during off-peak hours to enjoy the ambiance even more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very disappointed with my visit to Thai Basil. It felt like the authenticity of the dishes was missing. The lovely atmosphere could not make up for the Pad Thai, which had an odd taste. The portion size was generous, but the taste was a letdown. I may have caught them on an off day, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
